I happily bought a subscription to the Children's Playhouse, thinking Gwenny and wouldn't want to miss a single production. I needn't have been so excited though: Sleeping Beauty was disappointing, set in the late 20th Century and losing its fairy tale magic in the process. I'm sick to death of Disney's prissy princesses, but a good fairy tale deserves better than this. And there is a lot in the original tale that the show's target audience could relate to that this production completely missed. Gwendolen, however, had no complaints.
